	Explicação:
CHARACTER: A person, animal or imaginary creature in your story. There are usually one or two main characters. There can be many secondary characters too. Make your characters interesting so that they hold yourreader's interest.
SETTING: This is where your story takes place. The setting is a time - the future, the past, or now. The setting is also the place - on the moon, in Chicago, at the Whitehouse. The setting is an important part of your story.
PLOT:  The plot of your story tells the actions and events that take place in your story. Your plot should have a beginning, a middle and an end. The plot tells the events of your story in a logical order.
TIME
CHRONOLOGICAL -The chronological time remains the most common way to develop a story. Moreover, most authors and writing experts agree that it is the easiest plot device to utilize.  The chronological plot is one in which the writer tells the story in the ¿order in which it occurred.¿ In other words, the writer lays out the story itself in chronological fashion, from start to finish.  Once again, the use of a chronological plot is a very simply way to tell a story; however, you can present a very complicated story (or novel) through the use of a chronological plot.
FLASHBACKS - Another manner in which you can structure a plot is through the use of flashbacks. In other words, the narrator of the story will be speaking in the present day (for example) and the underlying story or plot itself will unfold through the use of flashbacks. The flashbacks themselves do not have to be in any particular order per se. Rather, the flashbacks can be used to develop the tension and drama of the story itself as desired and as necessary to make for the most interesting and entertaining tale.
NARRATOR: or WHO ARE YOU? AND WHY ARE YOU TELLING ME THIS?
A crucial element of any work of fiction is the NARRATOR, the person who is telling the story (note that this isn't the same as the AUTHOR, the person who actually wrote the story).
